are not sufficiently close, use the values calculated in step three as
the next guess and go to step two.

Beggs and Brill method can be used for vertical, horizontal and
inclined two-phase flow pipelines.
1- Flow Regimes: The flow regime used in this method is a
correlating parameter and gives no information about the
actual flow regime unless the pipe is horizontal.
The flow regime map is shown in Figure 3-16. The flow
regimes boundaries are defined as a functions of the
following variables:
